Remote asset monitoring for utilities and councils

Utilities, councils and emergency services look after assets spread over huge areas, often well outside coverage: pump stations, generators, tanks, remote sites, and the people who service them alone. Sentinel watches those assets and those people, and Fusion Cloud raises the alarm and lets you act from one place.

The problems we hear

What gets in the way

  • Remote pumps, generators and tanks need regular drive-out checks.
  • A site loses power and nobody knows until something fails.
  • Field staff work alone, far from help.
  • Sites have no mobile coverage.
Applications

What Sentinel does for utilities and services

Each application below is part of the Sentinel range on one common core.

Pump monitoring and control

Know a remote pump is running, and start or stop it, without driving out to check. Sentinel reports pump state, alarms on a fault or when the pump goes quiet, and the same device switches it on and off.

Generator monitoring

Know a generator is running, how it is going and when it stops, wherever it is. Run hours and alarms land in Fusion Cloud, and it can be started or stopped remotely where the set allows.

Tank and trough levels

Check water levels on every tank and trough from your phone instead of doing the run, with an alarm before stock run dry.

Condition monitoring

Catch a failing bearing, pump or motor before it breaks. Sentinel watches temperature, vibration and sound on any machine with a bearing, learns what normal looks like for that machine, and alarms when it drifts.

Fleet tracking

Location, trips and usage logs for utes, trucks and light vehicles, with a path to servicing on real use.

Lone-worker safety

Man-down, duress button, check-in timers and GPS, so someone working alone can get help sent to where they are.

Remote site connectivity

One gateway that switches automatically between LoRa, on-site Wi-Fi, Starlink and 4G, and connects direct to LEO satellite, so data gets out from sites with no phone coverage.

On site

How it works here

Each site gets the Sentinel devices it needs and a gateway that uses whatever connection is there, from on-site Wi-Fi and 4G to Starlink or direct satellite. Every unit has a battery, so a power failure is reported rather than going silent. In Fusion Cloud you see every site in one account, and a partner can see and assist with the sites you choose to share.

FAQ

Common questions

Will we know when a site loses power?

Yes. The battery in every unit keeps it reporting and flags the outage.

Can thresholds differ per site?

Yes. Alarms are set in Fusion Cloud per device, and changed remotely.

Is it designed and built in Australia?

Yes, in-house in Bundaberg, Queensland.
